A lot of things on my mind and my heart as we come to this conclusion, the Lord always

has a way of directing us so that he puts the pieces together I think in a in a sovereign supernatural way.

The message by Steve about the triumphant return of Christ with all of its violence and

judgment, severity,

followed by his kind invitation,

even to a group of pastors to be sure you're in Christ.

It was so important because we can be tempted in a lot of ways.

And one of the ways that we can be tempted in a lot of ways. And one of the ways that we can be tempted

is to even doubt our own condition.

We can be tempted to doubt that the Lord really has his hands on us permanently and forever.

And if there is any doubt in your mind about your eternal destiny or moments of doubt,

or you wonder if something could change with God or with you that could obviate his

promise then you of all people would be the most terrified, because you know what the

scripture says is coming. And you know it's coming. The critics said in Peter's day, no, no,

all things continue as they were since the beginning.

And Peter said, did you forget the universal flood?

No, it's happened before and there's evidence of it all over the earth.

It's coming. So we, in order to enjoy the prospects

and the promises of our eternal salvation need to understand what Romans

8 provides for us and that is the triumph of our Savior's love.

The opening message was obedience, the triumph of the Saints love. The closing message is security, the Triumph of the Savior's love.

And you can go back to Romans chapter 8.
